Metcon (Weight)
Gymnastic Conditioning
On the 1:30 x 6 Sets:
7-12 Kipping Handstand Pushups
3 “Touch and Go” Power Cleans
Athletes choose the total of HSPU, with the intention on each set being completed unbroken.
Stimulus
All percentages based on 1RM Power Clean:
Set 1 – 70%
Set 2 – 73%
Set 3 – 76%
Sets 4-6 – Build to a heavy triple for the day.
– Athlete’s choice on the amount of HSPU per set, with the intention being *unbroken sets throughout*.
– We’re looking for a sizable HSPU set, in respect to our own capacity, with an immediate power clean to follow.
– Think of these as supersets.
– In addition, we are training the ability to cycle a heavy barbell for “touch and go” reps. This is deliberate today.
– We can “rest” at the hang, but not on the floor, for the set to count.

Stimulus
– Conditioning Category: Threshold
– With (5) varying loads, we have (5) opportunities to focus on our threshold pace in regards to barbell cycling.
– We’ll need to move with a purpose to clear the jump rope and burpee reps, but as soon as we do – check the clock. The stimulus here today is how well we pace those remaining seconds with the weight in front of us.
– On the opening rounds, we are looking for the truly “light to moderate” loads. Weights we can cycle for 21, 18, and 15 reps unbroken, respectively to rounds 1-2-3.
– On the final two rounds, we are looking to climb past our moderate weight. Both weights we *could* cycle for 5+ reps unbroken, when fresh, but likely singles from the onset when we get there.
